At wits end and nowhere to turn

I'm 5 months pg and working FT with 2 hr commute each way to work. DP stays at home with 2yo DD and I wfh 1 day a wk.
I am really struggling with my job and the amount of work I have and have spoken to HR to try and get some help as my boss seems disinterested. Not sure anything will actually happen, but at least I've tried. However, DP is constantly moody and angry at me and DD cos she's had enough of being SAHM in a town away from family and calls me a workaholic even though I have no option in this. We both chose to move here but now I'm getting the blame for taking her away from the security of her old life.
This morning, I'm wfh and DD was sent through to me for an hour so DP could lie-in in some peace (I assume as nothing was said) and then, once I'd started work, DD came through without a nappy on to tell me she'd done a poo. DP then shouted at her even though she's not nappy trained at all so it's not her fault if she's left to run around half naked. Have been trying to work listening to DD downstairs crying and I assume getting ignored or shouted at by DP. I told DP not to take it out on DD, but she just shouted back at me and said it was none of my business and I should get to being a workaholic. When she's angry, she can say some really hurtful things to me which I try to ignore as I know they come from anger, but the more frequent they get, the harder it's getting to ignore.
I just feel completely at my wits end seeing my DD suffer from DP's severe mood swings and her anger at me but can't afford not to work so have no options. I really don't know what to do anymore - I hate being at work and hate being at home, apart from when I'm with DD. I'm also very worried about the health of my unborn baby which must be getting affected by all this stress.
I know there are no answers, but guess I just needed to offload.

Have reported steffsteff. Hope they ban.

Hideous. Hate to think I walk round rubbing shoulders with people with views like that. Hope it's not common.

True though isn't it

youtalkingtome · 14/03/2011 16:29

Erm, no.

Don't feed. It'll be gone soon.

DUnno what the troll said, but I posted earlier myself that DV can happen in lesbian relationships. And sometimes people find it harder a to recognise what's going on and b to get help.
IN this case it sounds like the OP and her DP are going to get it sorted out and best of luck to them.

PeterAndreForPM · 14/03/2011 18:59

sgb, troll said this happens in all lesbian r'ships, because they are eeeevil, basically

summat along those [mad] lines

SpringchickenGoldBrass · 14/03/2011 20:36

Ah. Bog standard sexually-dysfunctional bigot, then.

PeterAndreForPM · 14/03/2011 20:39
